Falls Short
Of Victory
The Vernonia Loggers fell
short of a victory Saturday,
December 8. when they traveled
to Banks to play the Class AA
Braves
The first quarter looked pretty
gray for the loggers, as Banks
outscored them by twelve points
The period ended with the score
Vernonia eight and Banks twen
ty
In the second period the Log
gers added four more field goals
than did the opposition, but fouls
kept the lead out of their grasp in
the first half The half ended
seeing a score of 34-24 the
Loggers on the short end
Vernonia outscored the Braves
by two points in the third period,
as Digger fans began thinking a
victory was in the making The
quarter ended with the score at
36 to 44
The last period went fast when
the Loggers began to press the
home team and they fought their
way to within six points of the
lead before the buzzer sounded
to end the game
Coach Curtis believes the ma
terial is there if the team gets its
defense together, and keeps its
present attitude The Loggers
travel to Neah-Kah-Nie Tues
day, December 18

THE TIMBERLINE
COMPILED
BY
THE
Parrow Warns
Bus Riders
Recently some of the VHS
students who ride the buses
home have been getting in the
way of the buses while they are
trying to park and load
To discourage this behavior
and perhaps to prevent someone
from getting injured Principal
Arthur Parrow came up with
three suggestions The suggest­
ions were announced to the
student body over the intercom
system Tuesday, December 4
The first suggestion was to
extend the school day until buses
are parked and ready to load
Second, have students load the
buses in the lane between the
grade school and the high school
The third suggestion was to have
all students stay in the building
until buses are ready to load
These three suggestions need
not to be put into effect if
students riding the bus act
civilized and mature, instead of
acting like wild animals ripping
each other apart to get into the
bus
Some Toys Not
Fully Enjoyed
It's almost Christmas time,
the favorite time of the year for
manufacturers and big business
Christmas decorations have
been out since October Merch­
ants have been advertising
"Christmas Specials" even be
fore Halloween was over
The stores are filled with all
kinds of new toys and games for
the Christmas Season, including,
expensive gadgets they want
people to buy for the kids
Buying expensive toys for kids
seems rather silly. L ittle kids
sometimes have more fun play­
ing with the box or the wrapping
than they do with the toy that is
inside
People buy expensive paint
sets when the child would pro­
bably have more fun with a box
of crayons and some paper or a
coloring book
Before one buys an expensive
toy for a child, we should stop to
consider whether or not the child
might have more fun playing
with a set of measuring spoons
they could find in the kitchen

VHS "Stats" Class
Is Gathering Data
The Statistics class w ill be
doing nine week projects for Ken
Roberts that should have very
interesting results
The projects w ill take about
three weeks to complete and w ill
make up 58 percent of the nine
week's grade As an added
bonus, anyone getting a "one”
w ill not have to take the semes­
ter test To complete the project,
the students w ill need to use
everything that the class had
learned the first semester
The projects have to be normal
distributions, so the students can
graph and find averages and
other important statistics Some
of the statistics that w ill be
discovered are about shoe sizes,
football scores, grade
point
averages, test scores, and other
physical characteristics
In the next few weeks, the
statistics students w ill be asking
about other students and the
faculties vital statistics and
measurements
It
shouldn't
alarm anyone, i t ’s all in the
name of mathematics.

VHS Student Enjoys
New Locker Door
At the beginning of the school
year, Chris Collins was issued a
¡ocker with a faulty door This
door was brutally assaulted
throughout the school year by
many students As the year
progressed the hinges gave out
one at a time until the bottom
hinge was the only one left The
door was maliciously attacked
and removed from the one
remaining hinge by a brutal
person who shall remain name­
less
Chris continued to use this
door even though it was hinge
less Then one evening aftei
basketball practice, he went to
his locker and the door was
missing After hours of search­
ing and questioning eye witness
es. the door was located in the
first stall of the ladies' room He
refused to go in after it. and had
a senior girl retrieve it for him
He then delivered it to the office
as a Christmas present for the
principal
After veiled threats by both
parties the situation was re­
solved by moving Chris to
another locker and replacing the
door on his old locker After
witnessing the fine quality of
work done on his old locker he
promptly relocated himself back
where tie bad started He par
ticularly likes his new door
because it is the onlv green one
in all of VHS

Pep Assembly Held
Before First Game
The Pep Assembly was held
last Friday before the Bank’s
game.
The skit was the most exciting
part of the j>ep assembly. The
cheerleaders placed some tea
chers on one side and the
cheerleaders find a student on
the other side; they placed Mr
Taylor on his hands and knees
with two towels on his hack
The teachers proceeded to
bargain lor the student by filling
cups with water and putting
them on Mr Taylor's back After
they were finished, they left Mr
Taylor in the middle of the floor
with five cups of water on his
back
He cleverly turned over fast
enough so he didn’t get wet The
moral of the skit was "A good
wrestler never gits pinned ”
